| Overview: | I’m an events manager with eight years of extensive and varied events experience (four of these as a manager.) Since leaving BBC events in 2005, I’ve worked in a succession of freelance events projects; with the primary reason of gaining as wide a variety of experience as possible across the industry. My experience has encompassed pre-production event planning, award ceremonies, live music events and marketing campaigns. I’m a very confident, focused individual with strong client account handling abilities and team motivational qualities. |
